Bally, et 'reroute, t thel Ihfr:_runont at Agriculture, ottrom A. despatch from Los Angeles, Cal„ saY8 ;wilco. Frank Do Witt 'haulage pomace' from the following text :— Acts axon, 86, "Then they wean all of good cheer." Have you ever followed the sea ? iii them days of multiplied facilities for ocean travel, when mammoth liners, *quipped line floating realm:es, carry tens and hundreds of thousands of passeegers to end fro across the noon with a Senile of security added to the maximum of comfort, we lite tie thinn of the discomforts Lanni - dant upon the ocean voyages of half a century ago. But though the con- ditions of sea travel have so vastly improved in recent years that a jour- ney across the Atlantic ex up the Mediterranean 15 no longer an under- taking to be dreaded there aro still many traditions of the sea wlilc,h timo has not materially changed. If you have traveled much upon the ocean, you must know that there are superstitious sailors who dislike to carry ministers, or as they call them, "sky• pilot,' in their ships. Ever sinco the recreant Jonah was the cause of a Mediterranean cyclone, bo- eauso he would persist in going to Tarshish when God told him to go to Nineveh, there have been sailors who believe the presence of a minister up- on their ship means head winds and storms and disasters and misfor- tunes, This prejudice against carry- ing m minister, like the prejudice against carrying a corpse or the starting of a 'voyage on 0 Friday, has been gradually getting less and less as sailors have become better educated. Only a few months ago a great liner set out from our shores for the Moly Land carrying among her passengers several hundred min- isters of the gospel. But in olden times the sailors would look with very distrustful eyes upon nny man In clerical garb who might cross their gangplank. The mutterings in the forecastle were lood and deep if two or more missionaries happened to be enrolled at the same time on the ship's passeuger list. PAUL IN THE STORM. Superstition, however, is not easily eradicated. This prejudice against ministerial passengers has survived for centuries, Yet in the scene of my text we have an instance of its being overcome. Here is Paul, a landsmen, a prisoner and a Mission- ary, so winning the connclence of the crew that they heed his warnings and follow his suggestions. It was, too, in a crisis when nautical skill was needed that they listened to him. There was a storm raging of unus- ual violence. The dreaded Molecule they called euroclydon was lashing the Mediterranean into fury. There vas darkness even at midday; all ekoning lost, all hope given ap. en the 275 persons on board tron- to this little Jewish missioefum guidance and encouragement. y had begun the voyage against telviee. They might be prejudice gainst him as a preacher and a nem but they listened to him addressed then), bidding bo of good cheer. "And when had thus spoken he took bread aye thanks to Clod in presence all, and When he had broken gon to eat. Then were they od cheer, and they also took eat." were the crew and the pas- s of this Alexandrian corn ship of heart? First, because always begets faith, and cooli- e confidence, and good cheer good em The belief which Paul felt t "there should be no loss al Euiy nit's life, but of the ship," Was, be> is personal example, instilled into tIo hearts and minds of those by vhom 10 was surrounded. We know lat cowardice is infectious. We now that when a ship is sinking at ea there is liable to be seen a rush or the boats that a panic may en - um Then the captain, knowing ell that only by order and equani- ity is there hope for the safety of my, will draw his pistol, and, with determined men, declare that lie will shoot the nest loan who disobeys or - dere in forcing his way into tho life- boats. Wo know that when a regi- ment is resisting the charge of, an enemy the colonel tvill take his posi- tion in the rear of the lima and shoot down any cowardly soldier who woolcl turn and ilee. if one soldier wean allowed to run to the roar, tho whol0 regiment, Ilk° a hood of terror stricken cattle, might be steMpoded with fear, If cowardice be infec- tious, Why may not hope oleo be factious ? Why is not the cello mien of a Poul able to steody the nerves and make hopeful the beerts of thoee who before had no hope of being saved from a watery grave? NOTHING MEAN ABOUd' Who oro the crow end the passen- gers of this AleXandrian corn ship happy of heall ? Because Wel kept holding up before then1 the mielakes of their post life in order that they might the mote OnSlIy be led to fol- low 111 his Way, Pool was not a mere taunter, a sneerer, a ridiculer, a tantaliser.

It te a contemptible characteristic to tell a man his faults Etnci. keep telling them, merely to glory In MS 1111Sery, oven nS a fiendish cat might, tease and tantalize a little mouse and yet not kill it, It is a contera- lanai° thing for a man to come around when your little child. Des cold In death and say "Well, So- and-so, I um sorry your baby Is (lead, but know she would die. knew it wilco you called in Dr. 331g - close as your physician. Ho always kills more patients than he over cures. I told o.au so. I told you so, II you had only followed my advice, your baby would be alive to- day." Can he bring the child to Ole again? It is a mean, contemptie blo act in a man to come to ;eon, al- ter a financial disaster, and say: "Well, Jones, you were caugbt, were you? Just an I expected. Atm I you would oot take my advice," when, in fact, the man never gave you any advice or offered any sensi- ble plan by which you could get out of your threatened danger. But, though it is n mean and n. contemp- tible act to ridicule the misfortunes of others for the joy you have in seeing other people suffer, it is justi- fiable to plead with them to accept your advice in their trouble by re- minding thein that your former ad- vice would have saved them from getting into the troublo. In, order to erect a mansion it is often necessary to tear down and clear away the walls ot an old nu:a- lly homestead. But no man hos a right to tear down or destroy any- thing unless he can erect a better in its place. The most mischievous of all soeial reformere is the destruc- tive iconoclent oho has nothing to offer us in the place of the institu- tions he would tear down. We know our social system is imperfect, but we would not have it mended by an anarchist, who, like the lenders of the French involution of 17013, would commence by demolishing the good and the evil together. It Is easy enotigh to be a censorious critic. It is not so easy a matter to furnish n bettor for that which you deride, I remember many years ago, Ets an imaginative boy, I read that strange, weird, horrible story .called "Caesar's Column," In fascination I followed its author step by step as he deftly tore the beautiful patterns of modern society into shreds. In horror I read on as he denounced the social status, not as tho generation of a Noah was destroyed by this old eorth as a woter-logged eraft, shipping tidal wave after tidal wave, but as a httge column of piled up corpses. But as the years have passed by and boyish imagination has given place to sober thought, the flames and the snook° arising from the funeral pyre of Deeper's column, embellished with dead bodies, have grown loss and less. Tlie great air -ships which cir- cled about in the heavens as great flocks of destroying birds have col- lapsed. Why? Because seo as a man that, though Ignatius Donnelly might advocate the destruction of society by finding fault with it, yet with his brain he could not construct for us a better Utopia. Like Paul, never ridicule a man, never probe for iiis faults, tailless at the same tine yod. can show him how to correct those faults. Never three to a man's malady or deformity unless you ean tell him of a doctor who eau apply a remedy for it, RELIGION THAT HELPS. Why were the crew and the passen- gers or the Alexandrian cora ship of good cheer? 13ecause Pail was a man of Christian common sense as well at of supernatural visions. He know that the only religion than could really help a man most be a religion that could help him in the present life as well as IR him for a We beyond the grave, It was' not only the promise of safety in the fue ture that lie gave those people, but tho soond common sense counsel of preparation, by keeping op their strength for insuring that safety. "What are you driving al any- way'?" enys some onto "le Pool a 11101'0 hygenie Ire:tutor?" Me is more thou that, but he does oot thinn it beneath his dignity, after seeing the vision of God, to tell the dreW and tbe paesengers of the Alexandrian corn ship to look after there pbysical neceesities. 317c (loco not think it ir- eoliglotie to anther the men and tho women of the doomed sbip tog'etnee and soy: "31lofl 300 are going to be Saved, but God will never do hie part unless we are ready to do oul's.

TRIAL, AND ADVERSITY. I believe that in urging men tn come to Chrint we make a nil:duke when we do not frankly elate the hardehlps and aline:titles of Cut tian lire, 'There ere, as every experi- enced Chriefian 'mows, eacrillces that must bo InitC10, privations that must be endured, struggion that moot be fought. It is better that we aeknow- ledge the fact, me Christ 01(1 when men tante to him offering themselves as Ills dieciples, If we fall to tell them they must expect tidal and per- haps ady nsity in following Christ they will consider that they have been deceived and will be disappoint- ed and discouvaged when they en- counter trouble, As Paul told these men that they would loom to battle with the waves and be In danger of death on that rocky coast before they reached earety, so we should tell men that tho way to heavenly joys is often bard and toilsome. Christ to -day, like Paid, promises his followers not peace, but etruggle and privation; not ense ancl comfort, but storm and suffering and trials and misery. But: in tlie end, like Paul, Christ aSsUres you of salvation. Aye, more than Paul offered to the ship- wrecked sailors and paS50o0ge110 01 the Alexcuidrian corn ehip, Cheist of - fess to you spiritual redemption far time and for eternity, Men and wo- men, are you ready to face Befterinr; and sacrifice in the IMMO of ../eSUS Christ.? Arc yeti willing to believe him. and truet in him, even in crises when your lIte seems a hopeless sblp- wreck? "COURAGE, CHRISTIAN 13330- THER." But who; should not the passengers anC1 USW of the Alexandrian corn ship be of good cheer? Did not the prophetic words of Paul 'literally come true? 'When the mighty ship struck the beach what happeincl? Paul turned to the brawny armed men about him and said, "Leap into the stun and swim for your 31005." And these stout limbed men Ming themselves into the seething waters and swam on until at last their feet touched the shore rind they made ready to rescue their struggling friends. Some of the womeo, befog in all probability strapped to spars, wero lifted by the beaving end swept Aeon the rocks, where they were rescued. Some or the men may have come ashore clinging to boards aed broken gunwales. At times it seemod as though they most be wash- ed oft, but somehow they are at last all landed. So M the end of time and in the ImoOnning of eternity all Christians shall be safely brought to tlie heavenlysliores, through stress and storm and poll, it may be, but still safe. Yes, we will be there. We shall all be there, Courage, Chris- tian brother. P'ear not tho perils of the passage. "Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof," tlie promise of Christ, like the words of Paid, shall come glori- ously true. BULLFIGHTERS GORED. Madrid Arena. Witnesses a Change in Programme. An exceptional and sensational bull fight was held recently in the Madrid arena. Six bulls were no be fought by the two renowned matadors, Al- gabeno and Lagartijo, and the arena was crowded with gay spectators, the ladles drapee in their Manila shawls, or else wearing the romantic white mantilla, oolong whose silk lace -work and the owner's ebony hair nestled red and white carnations. The first bull Was slaughteced oe- cording to bull rinp; laws; tho socond started his short career by killing several horses, and without a mo- ment's notice pitched Lagartijo three yards bigimia the air, having caught him in the calf of the right log. Tho matador refused to leave the arena, though the blood was trickling down on the dry sand; he therefore re- mained sword la band to killothe 11501. Ife did so with a mortal thrust that brought forth a storm of ap- Manse; but unlueStily he was °alight by the dying bull's last re,ntie ef- forts, and tossed up in the air, this 'time having been &bulged again by the bull's horns. Senseless ho was carried away by his team, and the carnage continued, Algabeno having ZOW to kill the reinaiuing four bulls. The third bull now came out teem Its cove—a determined, rushing brute. He was Mot by the renowned torero, who throw him the reel cape, and for a few moments played nim- bly, when suddenly ho was tossed 110 the air, end then fell down again befere the, aggravated alllmi1, who lowered his head, and pierced Alga- beno's imek with his needle -pointed horns, Oho of the team pulled the beast by the tail, the rest threw capas, ono of which managod to din. tract the bull.

NEURALGIA. Dr. A. Darter, a French doctor, states that he has been very success- ful in ,applying radium to certain forms of neuralgic complaints. In a case of catiCer of the socket of the eye all pain was removed by tho an - plication of radio -active salts. An- other patient suffered from acute rheumatic pains in the eyes, which no ordinary treatment could abate. Now, by means of the application of radium, tho pain is driven away for two days, and so tho patient keeps a tube of radium handy, and Is able to drive away the pain should it re- cur. F,acial paralysis was also cured by two applications of only slightly radio -active salts, STOP THE PAPER. "I've atopt the /raper, yes, I liev; I didn't like to do it.
